(source: Rubio, Baigorria & Stolar, 2025. Spiders of the genus Cylistella (Salticidae: Simonellini) from Argentina.)

According to the authors' description of new species C. daphneae, the subtle difference in hue between the male (left) and female (right) specimens captured in these photographs is representative, with males primarily occupying the orange-brown end of the range while females exhibit a true black.

The tiny jumpers of this genus are thought to be mimics of smaller Coccinellidae (the ladybird beetle family).

the summer hikaru died is a horrible tragedy about being the only gay people in your hometown and how that complicates the experience of realizing your feelings for someone, the sense of isolation and otherness you feel growing up and knowing that youre different. it's also the series where a teenage boy falls off a cliff and dies because he stopped to look at a tree shaped like a sexy lady. im not kidding btw that's literally how original hikaru died. that's the inciting incident of this whole series. he went AWOOGA and ate shit so bad he died in the forest and that's how he got replaced by an eldritch entity. anyway everybody should watch the anime the first ep is out now

being a queer person who really likes a m/f ship blows because the minute you step outside your painstakingly curated circle of t4t bisexuals you find out all the straight people are out here drawing your faves like this

Horse colors are easy. For example, the left horse is flaxen liver chestnut and the right horse is silver dapple

Left is mealy and right is pangaré

Left is flaxen chestnut and right is dark palomino

Left is perlino and right is amber champagne

Left is dun and right is buckskin

Like I said, easy!

My mother didn't spend thirty minutes screaming at me over the style of watch I wanted to get as a teenager for this to not be a thing.

prev anon, also gotta say that "theres no social pressure preventing trans guys from considering they might be men" reminds me so much of the forcemasc discourse talking point that "forcemasc is something that happens to trans women in real life" as if forcefem doesn't also happen to trans men??

They got the idea “masculinity is rewarded, femininity is punished” stuck in their heads so hard that when confronted with obvious instances of this not being true it just. Does not register to them. Unfortunately that also means that the lived experiences of countless transmascs just goes straight over their heads.
